[Mafia] The Aurora Project - [END]

[KungFuCutbug]

"It was a joke, gatita, don't get your tail in a twist. But on that note, are the rest of you deaf or just mentally incapable of connecting the dots in your heads? 'Traitor to what?' They're traitors to the project—boss said as much when I reached the cabin, said they're here to sabotage us. And apparently they're not above shooting us to do that. I do not want to get shot. De nuevo." [Sherry nervously looks to her right as she mumbles the last thing under her breath.] "...Seems that's as much as anyone knows though, besides the traitors themselves anyhow. But I'm not here to give some sappy motivational speech telling everybody to trust each other, because doing that'll just make it harder to kick the traitors' asses halfway across town because 'I thought they were our friend' and blah, blah, blah. All I'm saying is, we're stuck together, so we work together. In Punta Ceniza, there's a saying. Si estás solo estás jodido. If you're alone, you're fucked. And it seems pretty obvious that applies here, too. Both ways. If we can push aside our differences and group together to weed out the 'fuckhead murderers', then I'm pretty confident we'll be able to stomp their skulls into the floorboards, pocos o ningún problema. But if we can't? They'll pick us off one by one while we're too busy feeding petty grudges and getting at each other's throats to give a shit."

[A pause.] "...Ah, mierda. I ended up giving a sappy motivational speech anyway without even meaning to. Well, whatever. Si estás solo estás jodido. Lived by that philosophy my whole life. Hasn't gotten me killed yet, bet it won't now."

[PointMaid]

Sure, Sherry. We don't know what this project is doing, though... other than building a communications tower out here in the middle of wherever. That doesn't help us figure out who would have a motive.

[KungFuCutbug]

"Don't need a motive! Some people just cause shit for the sake of causing shit. Obviously doesn't help in figuring out who shot that kid, but considering it looked like everyone and sus madres was in the cabin with them when it happened, I bet someone would've noticed if it was anyone here."

[PointMaid]

Verdad, true enough.

[Kennifer]

"Hey, I'm not fighting with anybody, I just want some answers as to who these traitors are."

[Dookie]

June, meanwhile, is hanging out in her room, putting her stuff up, and thinking about the murder.

[KungFuCutbug]

"Wasn't directed at you or anyone in specific, Hols. Just wanted to put that out there and at least try ending a problem before it starts, because I betcha the traitors are gonna do everything in their goddamn power to make us want each other dead over stupid shit that might not've even happened or, if it did, they caused it and not whoever's the subject of the public ire that day. As for who the traitors are? ...Ninguna pista. No clue. I doubt the boss has a clue either, considering he didn't even realize the traitors even existed till your new coworker was forced to be a replacement coworker instead. But you guys seem pretty observant—plus you all've still got both of your eyes. So if they start causing more shit, fucking off and murdering more of us? We'll be able to notice los idiotas sospechosos."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

No fucking shit we have eyes! But yeah. We can weed out those suspicious maniacs. Wonder how the hell they got here; the fuckin helicopter? The only damn people I saw that got transported were us! And that fucking helicopter, of course. So either these traitors latched onto that last transport or...

Voi makes the connection in her head. Oh. Oh fucking dammit! Shit, there could've been some of them riding with us! Fuck, some of them could be here bitching about it to the rest of us until they're ready to strike us down and rob us blind for some reward like they do back in the city. You-I mean we. We all better watch the fuck out.

[PointMaid]

Yeah, we'd better all keep our eyes open. Ruby blinks hers, compound and glittery green as they are.

Whatever's happening, somebody doesn't want everyone alive. Or worse, somebodies.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Sherry visibly tenses up when Voi seems to mention bounty hunters. What else could "strike us all down and rob us blind for a reward" mean? She doesn't want to think she's a wanted criminal with a cash reward on her head again, especially not 500-some-odd years in the past in the middle of fuckoff nowhere...

...She takes a deep breath in and sighs. Keep it together.] "Right. Stay observant. 'No fucking shit we have eyes'? Use 'em. I'll be using mine. And if any of you come after me?" [She grins, raises her leg and slams it down onto the couch.] "I'm not going down without a fucking fight. Ven a buscar algunos, ¡putas!"

[Caret]

"I'm all ears and eyes!" Bow says as she points to her rabbit-like ears and warm blue eyes.

"Yeah, like Voi said, if there's traitors out to get us, then... some of them might be among us as we speak. I hate to say it, but my suspicions might be confirmed. This might turn into a murdergame later down the line. I've already been in one before, so I know what I'm dealing with. Remember that you should stay vigilant at all times. Don't be afraid to investigate if something seems off to you. And try not to get into pointless arguments. I learned that the hard way. And remember that no matter who you trust, cooperation is key."

"...Maybe we should stop with all these fluffy speeches, huh?"

[awe921]

Russell can't help but nod. Cooperation, investigation and staying vigilant... all of these are important things.
All of these to survive and... well, he doesn't care too much about surviving himself.
But deep down, he hoped the others could make it. Afterall, they didn't throw their life away like he did.
... like he did.

... Russell gets off his chair and heads to his room.

[Dookie]

Yeah…June's been in

something like thatTemperonpa

. And she thinks she was in something almost

exactly like thatLast Summer

.

“Well, hopefully not. Not sure until it hits night, though. I suggest locking the doors.”

[Kennifer]

Holly just... looks even less happy and even more annoyed than usual.

There better not be any cannibalism this time, at least...

[Cassie]

"Alright, managed to tally up all the scores...Congratulations, Reisen, you get to stay in the attic, and be safe from any Traitor attacks!"

(OOC: Reisen cannot be killed this nightphase)

[Cassie]

Outside the cabin...

"'Bout time you go to bed, you unwittingly kidnapped dorks!"

"[cackling] Oh that guy's lucky to not be the my target..."

---

NIGHT HAS FALLEN. NEXT DAYPHASE STARTS AT THURSDAY, 7:00 PM CST. SEND PMS TO BOTH HOSTS (me and Magolor)

[Cassie]

DAY 2: START

[Cassie]

"...Someone's missing."

"Oh by the way, finally found the storage room keys! Whoof!"

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

... Ugh...

>Look for any bodies

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi is still alive. Whether that's a good thing is yet to be seen. She emerges from sleep mode...

Am I still in this fucking hellhole. Yes or no?

[awe921]

Russell gets up and...

> joins in the body search.

[Kennifer]

Holly joins the others, yawning a bit and looking suitably cross.

"Great. Someone's missing... ugh I hate this so much."

> Head count time

[KungFuCutbug]

"..."

"...¿Ya es la mañana?..." [Sherry pulls herself out from under her bed and steps out into wherever everybody else is, looking tense.] "Still alive, at least. And yes, ah, Voi, was it? We're still fucking stuck here. As for everybody else, though... someone's gone so I can only assume that means one thing."

> we're on a body hunt

[PointMaid]

*Yawn* Morning... Wait, what?

> Help look for whoever is missing

[Cassie]

>body search

After a long-winded look around all the buildings, you find who went "missing".

Dr. Rodney(?) Gerald is found dead by one of the Power Station's generators.

"Oh dear...the Traitors have started with the Necromancer..."
